300 wen is by no means a normal price, you must know that this is collected from the people's land, and there is a cost for transporting grain to the city. If the grain merchants are in this way, according to their contract with Chang'an, they will basically not make money. If there is some stubble, you have to pay a sum of money.

How can there be such a business!

The merchants were indignant that they could not harvest the grain, and those farmers who had signed contracts in advance also repented. The people who don't know a single word, how can they have any spirit of contract, they only know that their grain is sold cheaply, and they suffer a loss, of course, they will regret it.

If it were normal, these people would not dare. The businessmen who went to the countryside to collect grain, who did not bring a few thugs, said that they signed a contract and received a deposit. It's just that there is no contract, no deposit, and you dare not sell it at the price you have said? I can't kill you!

But this time, because there were people from the imperial court in the village, in order not to find stubble for Li Mu, they didn't bring a thug. Only brought the account office, man, a few people, even Liba, who helped transport food, was also hired locally. How many people are there, in the face of a village of angry villagers, where are their opponents?

At this time, they remembered the court and Li Mu again. If you press the handprint contract in black and white, how can you say that if you don't abide by it, you won't abide by it?

No, you have to find a place to reason! The merchants were indignant, and they couldn't harvest the grain on the left and right, so they got together one by two, summed up with each other, and decided that in the early morning of the next day, no one would run, and go to the Hou Mansion to find Li Mu to reason!

Let's go! Let's go!

The crowd shouted.

……

The next day, in front of the Hou Mansion.

The slogan is shouted loudly, and it will be diluted when it is time to do things. None of the few who were screaming to find Li Mu to settle accounts yesterday came, but a few came, and they looked at each other, all of them were carrying the contract on the Chang'an side. If they can't hand over the grain in the winter, they will have to pay a lot of money according to the agreement. But at the current price of grain, they really can't collect it. Li Mu has already set the price of grain at 300 Wen, and if they pay the same price, the common people will definitely sell it to Li Mu and will not sell it to them. If they raise the price, they will already have 300 yuan, and if they mention another penny, they will pay for it, who wants to do such a thing?

If so, it is better to go to other places to collect some grain and send it to Chang'an, if it is operated properly, it may be less compensated.

Things have come to the current situation, which is also what Shopkeeper Sun didn't expect. But he is the initiator, and if he shrinks his head when something happens, he will be confused in the Luoyang realm in the future. A quarter of an hour has passed since the appointed time, and the shopkeeper Sun glanced at the people who came, and his heart was all that, and it was impossible for anyone to come again, gritted his teeth, came out of the crowd, and skillfully took out an ingots from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the brocade guards guarding the door.

"This Lord ......"

Before he could say his words, how did he hand over the ingots and how did he come back. Sun's shopkeeper's face changed, he was not afraid of the people at the yamen receiving money, he was a businessman, and he was born inferior, but as long as it was something that money could do, it was nothing to a businessman, it was nothing more than a little more blood. But if it is something that money can't do, no matter how big it is, it's not a trivial matter for the businessman, because they only have money and nothing else to rely on.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is a dependent, and it is also the number one today, but only at the door of the Hou Mansion, he knows that it is not easy to use without anyone mentioning it.

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly put on a smile on his face, leaned in again, and said, "My lord, it's just a little heart-"

"You don't hurt me." Jin Yiwei stretched out his hand and said, "Jin Yiwei has rules, and you can't take money that shouldn't be taken." If you have something, just say, get out of here if you have nothing to do, in front of the Hou Mansion, you can wait? ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Sun touched his nose and had to take back the ingots in a sneer, he arched his hand and said, "This lord, I have something." ”

Jin Yiwei glanced him up and down, still with the expression that his grandmother didn't care for his uncle and didn't love, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to see Master Hou."

When Jin Yiwei heard what he said, he pursed his lips and said nonchalantly: "Look at your dress, you don't look like a person who doesn't know how to be polite." Why are you so impertinent? Master Hou, what kind of character is that, people like you can see it if they want to? If you are like you, if you want to see Hou Ye, Hou Ye will have to see you, then Hou Ye doesn't have to do anything else for a day, and he will serve you. After speaking, he stopped looking at them and said: "If you want to see Hou Ye, you will pay tribute three days in advance, and Hou Ye will inform you if you want to see him." If you have a post, take it out, if you don't, hurry away, and then block it at the gate of the Hou Mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"This," Shopkeeper Sun choked again, and he almost suffocated himself to death with a heartwarming fire, but he couldn't deny that what the Jinyi guard guarding the door said also made sense. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, if anyone wants to see Li Mu, Li Mu can see it, and there is really no need to do anything else.

It's just that in his heart, he regards Li Mu as an opponent. This is like two opponents of equal strength, one side loses, and the other side should be at least sympathetic to each other. That's what he thought, pondering that this grain harvest war would end before it began. If he loses on his side, even if it is humiliation, Li Mu should want to humiliate him in person. Unexpectedly, he came to humiliate Li Mu, but he couldn't even enter the door, and a sense of loss arose in his heart.

Seeing that Jinyiwei did not mean to be accommodating, Shopkeeper Sun was a little deflated, turned around and said to his companion: "Master Hou is gone, let's go back." ”

The other businessmen were not as bold as Shopkeeper Sun, and they all sighed when they saw this, and planned to go home. But at this moment, it was also a coincidence, only to hear a squeak, and the door of the Hou Mansion opened. Ma Zhou came out of it, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Shopkeeper Sun recognized Ma Zhou, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Ma Changshi, stay!" ”

Ma Zhou was thinking about things, but he didn't see people blocking the door, but when he heard the voice, he looked up, and saw so many people blocking the door, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you waiting for?" Recognize me? ”

"We are all the shopkeepers of Nanshi Grain Bank, and the villain's surname is Sun, and we are the shopkeepers of Dingfeng Grain Bank. Ma Changshi doesn't recognize the villain, but the villain recognizes Ma Changshi. If it weren't for Ma Changshi to advise the Hou Ye, I would have run out of life for the grain merchants, thank Ma Changshi. Saying that, Shopkeeper Sun and his party bowed, Ma Zhou hurriedly dodged, stretched out his hand to help Shopkeeper Sun, and said: "Don't thank me, I, I didn't help you anything, and I gave you a pit, I-" Ma Zhou was about to go down, but he didn't seem to know how to say it, and he was speechless for a while, sighing.

Shopkeeper Sun borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and continued to say on Ma Zhou's words: "Ma Changshi's kindness, I have it in my heart, and I will definitely not forget it." It's just that something has changed in this matter now......" Speaking of this, he said cautiously: "I don't know if Ma Changshi knows or not, Hou Ye released a word today, saying that he wanted to collect grain for three hundred wen and a bucket." He looked at Ma Zhou's expression and said, "Have you heard of Ma Changshi?" ”

"Alas!" Ma Zhou sighed again and said, "If it's only three hundred Wen, you're lucky." Three hundred wen is the price in the morning, and now the price is the third class, the third class is three hundred wen and one bucket, the second class is four hundred wen, and the first class is five hundred wen! ”

"Five hundred ......" Shopkeeper Sun and the others only felt that it was dark in front of them, three hundred wen they could not post the book if they did a good job, four hundred wen they would definitely lose money, five hundred wen ...... They couldn't even think about it. But now, they don't want to, they can't do it, because if Li Mu collects grain at the price of 500 Wen, not only the price of grain in Luoyang, but also in the realm outside Luoyang, but the contract they have signed cannot rise, and if they can't hand over the grain, they still have to lose money.

Shopkeeper Sun knelt down with a plop, and the current situation could no longer allow him not to bend down. He hugged Ma Zhou's thigh, as if he felt sorry for his money, and cried: "Why do you say Master Hou, I'm just a little pariah, and I can't compete with us." Hou Ye has such a way of collecting, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, he has to pay for it. I can't do it, I can't do it! ”

Ma Zhou was the same as they thought, but he also wondered, and said, "If I knew what he thought, wouldn't I persuade him?" Hou Ye does things, every time he is unexpected, he will have a longer memory in the future, don't mess with him, he can do anything, he really loses a mountain of gold to go in, for a breath, he can also do it. Ma Zhou pulled out his leg and said, "Don't wait here, go home, I also have to go to the city to make arrangements, and tomorrow morning I will collect grain at the new grain price." ”

"Changshi, don't go!" Shopkeeper Sun hugged Ma Zhou's thigh and didn't let go, and the snot was wiped on his trouser leg: "I will admit the punishment when I know my mistake, Hou Ye will be punished, I will suffer it, I ask Changshi to take me to see Hou Ye and make amends in person!" ”

Shopkeeper Sun also thought clearly, Li Mu didn't know how much money he had in his hand. But comparing his heart to his heart, if he is Li Mu, even if he is fighting for a breath, he has accompanied hundreds of thousands of people to go in, and if he takes this breath, the hatred will definitely be dead. This is Luoyang, Li Mu's fiefdom, he is like an emperor here, and he has a feud with him? Can a little businessman survive?

It doesn't matter if you die, what about the Zheng family's industries? When Li Mu pours out his hand, can he resist his anger?

Therefore, he must apologize, or the kind of person who begs for nothing, and cannot be forgiven.

Ma Zhou didn't want to care about this matter, he was also stunned now, he had just been deflated by Li Mu, he just wanted to get as far away from Li Mu as possible, and stay away from this unreasonable madman!

Shopkeeper Sun saw that Ma Zhou didn't want to care, but now he had no other way, gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, and said: "Ma Changshi, so far, don't you have any responsibility at all?" Are you just going to leave us here?! How can you bear it! ”

This sentence can be regarded as speaking in Ma Zhou's heart, and he does feel guilty in his heart. In today's situation, it is indeed better for him not to stop it, he does not stop it, these businessmen do not collect grain near Luoyang, and they can collect grain from other places, but now, they do not collect grain near Luoyang, go to other places to collect grain, and the price will also rise. Ma Zhou was sent out by Li Mu to collect grain, and what he saw and heard along the way was not in vain, and he was half an expert.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see Master Hou, but I don't care if you say it first, how you speak, what the consequences are." ”

Shopkeeper Sun was overjoyed and thanked: "Chang Shi is willing to take on such a big role, and we are already grateful." There will be a reward in the future—"

"Oh, okay, I don't dare to ask for it." Ma Zhou waved his hand again and again, turned around and returned to the Hou Mansion, and after a while, Ma Zhou came out to call them, this time the brocade guards at the door did not stop them, and they finally entered.

……

Lobby.

"Master Hou, I'll know it's wrong!" Shopkeeper Sun and the others knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Li Mu raised his hand, and Ma Zhou helped everyone up for him. He pointed to the seat again, Shopkeeper Sun and the others didn't dare to sit, Ma Zhou gave them a look, and then sat down tremblingly.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Li Mu looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"Master Hou is rich and powerful, and his courage is amazing, we are not opponents, I know that I am wrong." Shopkeeper Sun felt humiliated in his heart, although he was already very careful and didn't want to bring out his emotions, but he also knew the age of the destiny, and it was inevitable that it was still a little unpleasant. As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, but he didn't know what to say to remedy it, so he had to laugh wryly.

Li Mu was not annoyed, he still looked like he was smiling and underwhelming, and said: "I heard it, I was a little unconvinced, I felt that I was a madman, and in order to be angry, I also did the business of losing money," he paused, looked at everyone, and asked, "Yes, that's what you think, right?" ”

"Don't dare, I don't mean that." Shopkeeper Sun shook his head like a rattle, and everyone else was the same, even if he thought so in his heart, who would dare to admit it? Doesn't that add fuel to the fire?

Li Mu looked at Ma Zhou: "You think so too, right?" ”

"Xiaguan," Ma Zhou pursed his lips: "I don't mean that." ”

Li Mu laughed again, and his tone was even more unbeaten: "You guys, you want to fight with Ben Hou, your courage is commendable, and Ben Hou really admires it." But I can't figure it out, you are also characters who have been up and down in the shopping mall for many years, why do you even forget to know yourself and your opponent? Is Benhou so unworthy in your eyes? ”

Without waiting for Li Mu to look at Ma Zhou: "You think so too, right?" ”

"Xiaguan," Ma Zhou pursed his lips: "I don't mean that." ”

Li Mu laughed again, and his tone was even more unbeaten: "You guys, you want to fight with Ben Hou, your courage is commendable, and Ben Hou really admires it." But I can't figure it out, you are also characters who have been up and down in the shopping mall for many years, why do you even forget to know yourself and your opponent? Is Benhou so unworthy in your eyes? ”

If you don't wait, why do you forget to even know yourself and your opponent? Is Benhou so unworthy in your eyes? ”

If you don't wait, why do you forget to even know yourself and your opponent? Is Benhou so unworthy in your eyes? ”
